Itinerary:



Come join your fellow Calgary section members for a ski & social event to ring in the new year!



Objectives for the trip include much merriment on new years eve, probably including music, frivolity, and dancing, possibly resulting in a slower start on new years day...

In the days leading up to new years, objectives may include yo-yo skiing, Mts. Gordon, Olive, St. Nicholas, Rhonda- condition and weather dependent.

Bow hut is reserved exclusively for us all 3 nights!! The hut fee is $75 per person.

Note... Hut fee for Rocky Mountain Section Members who don't also have a calgary section membership is $85 to cover beverages etc that are being provided...

Please remember that the trip in to Bow hut is ~8km and 400m elevation gain (a 3-5 hour ski in) so is intended for intermediate skiers or better (linked turns on blue runs with AST1 course, crevasse rescue course very highly recommended).

Notes:


To finalize your registration and be moved to the attendee list, your hut fees will be due - details to follow


Also, a reminder that each participant is responsible for their own national park passes, as well as your own backcountry/wilderness passes as Bow Hut is classified as a backcountry hut - an annual wilderness pass is available through the ACC national office or from most parks offices.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!


*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
